Rex Chevrolet is a family owned business,
  founded in 1925 by F. W.  Rex,
which has served northwest Iowa for three generations

F.W. Rex  graduated from Odebolt High School, served in WWI, and married Esther Lemke.  Mrs. Rex taught school in the Odebolt school system, and the couple had two sons, Bill and Ron Rex.  F.W. Rex ran the business from 1925 to 1958, then sold the operation to son Ron, and his wife, Elaine.

Ron Rex grew up in Odebolt and graduated from Odebolt High School.  A Drake graduate and a Korean USAF Veteran, Ron has served on the City Council, as Mayor of Odebolt in the early 1960's, and is presently Odebolt's mayor.  Both Ron & his wife, Elaine, are long-time community supporters and serve on various boards, civic clubs and church organizations.  They are parents of 4 daughters.  After 31 years as owners of Rex Chevrolet, Ron and Elaine sold the family business to their son-in-law and daughter, Mark and Pam Rex Hansen, in 1989.

Mark and Pam Rex Hansen both graduated from Odebolt-Arthur High School and received degrees from Norwest Missouri State and Iowa Methodist, respectively.  Both Mark and Pam are active in community activities, and Mark presently serves on the Odebolt City Council.  The couple have 5 children.
